The Rondo Theatre: Martin Harley Band

The Martin Harley Band is an acoustic trio who are achieving cult status with live music fans worldwide. Notorious for their dynamic live shows and relentless gigging, the band is attracting industry scrutiny in 2009. MHB have opened UK and overseas concerts for Brit Award winner James Morrison, made a sensational debut in Italy and nailed two explosive shows on Glastonbury’s famous Acoustic and Avalon stages this summer. Their slide-driven sound, fronted by Acoustic London’s “Solo Performer of the Year 2005”, blends swinging contemporary Americana with heavier acoustic blues-rock and delicate ballads of exceptional beauty. The band has recently been given the rare honour of permission from cult US songwriter Tom Waits to record a version of his song “Chocolate Jesus”.
